In reply to the discussion: My appearance on Fox & Friends this morning discussing Carly Fiorina's Presidential bid [View all]LovingA2andMI
(7,006 posts)18. Amazing that Ms. Fiorina now believes, "China can't Innovate"....
As she didn't think so, while CEO of HP:
"Moreover, Fiorina contends that over the entire course of her tenure at HP, the company created more jobs than it cut.
She explains this in an exchange with Chris Wallace in a Fox News interview on June 13, 2010.
"But, Ms. Fiorina, if the issue is jobs, Senator Boxer says your record is what you did as the head of Hewlett-Packard, "Wallace said. "And the record shows, according to her -- and it's not just her, the facts are that during that time you laid off more than 30,000 American workers, and many of those jobs went to India and China."
"It is true, I managed Hewlett-Packard through the worst technology recession in 25 years," Fiorina said. "And in those tough times, we had to make some tough calls.
"It is also true that, net-net, we created jobs," she said. "We doubled the size of the company from $44 billion to $88 billion. We tripled the rate of innovation to 11 patents a day. We quintupled the cash flow. We improved the profitability in every product segment and ...
"What about the 30,000 American jobs that...you laid off?" Wallace asked.
"You know, every family and every business in California knows what it means to go through tough times," Fiorina said. "And every family is cutting back, and every business is laying off right now. I don't say that with delight. I say that with sorrow. But yes, it is true that jobs are being taken out of California. By the way, China fights harder for our jobs than we do. Texas fights for our jobs. Nevada fights for our jobs. North Carolina fights for our jobs. We have to start fighting for our jobs in this nation and in our state."

Let quote that line one more time:
But yes, it is true that jobs are being taken out of California. By the way, China fights harder for our jobs than we do., says Carly Fiorina in 2010.
So, we think she might want to stop talking out of both sides of her mouth -- as it's not a "Good Look" for a Job Outsourcer who now says she's again not Job Outsourcing. Just saying!

Exactly. She is offering very little in terms of policies and in terms of a resume.

Study the whole story behind her pushing to OEM Apple's IPOD instead of pursuing HP's solutions...

She was at least last week. I dont think that's the worst strategy. It's too bad she made so little

Fiorina sounds more like a heckler than really doing any kind of constructive criticism of Hillary

I agree, that was just an attempt to hype a Republican candidate who's going nowhere
